This isn't a problem. If you want people to choose race up front but don't want them stuck with their decision, just do what we do: Let people change their race once within X hours of character creation so that if they realize they've made a mistake, it's easily fixable.
We track that kind of thing in some detail.
I tell you what the biggest mistake is for a MUD in terms of getting newbies (newbies new to MUDs generally) started: Telling people to use Windows telnet or to download a third party program if they want to play. Windows telnet sucks beyond belief, and asking someone to download a third party program to try out your MUD will immediately drive most people away.
